'''''Escape from Planet Earth''''' is a 2013 animated science fiction comedy film, directed by Cal Brunker, written by Brunker and Bob Barlen, and featuring an ensemble voice cast, including Rob Corddry, Brendan Fraser, Sarah Jessica Parker, William Shatner, Jessica Alba, Craig Robinson, George Lopez, Ricky Gervais, Jane Lynch and Sofia Vergara. The film was released in the United States on February 15, 2013, to mixed reviews from critics, and grossed $75 million against a $40 million budget.
==Plot== On the planet Baab, reckless astronaut Scorch Supernova works at BASA (Baabian Aeronautics and Space Administration) with his smarter older brother Gary, who assists him on missions from BASA Headquarters. One day, Gary learns that Scorch will be sent to the "Dark Planet" (Earth) due to an SOS call and opposes the idea, knowing that any alien who goes to Earth never comes back. However, Scorch accepts without his approval. This leads to an argument between the brothers, causing Gary to quit his job out of frustration. Afterwards, Gary goes home and, along with his son Kip and wife Kira, watches Scorch's investigation on Earth via live TV.
Scorch arrives on Earth and finds a 7-Eleven convenience store, where he is ambushed by the US Army, led by General William Shanker, and is taken to Area 51. Witnessing this, Kip wants to go rescue Scorch, but Gary discourages him, upsetting Kip. That night, Gary goes to Kip's room to apologize, only to find that Kip has left. He rushes to BASA with Kira and arrives in time to cancel a launch sequence at the last second and save Kip. Gary, having a change of heart and regretting quitting his job, re-activates the sequence, traveling to Earth to rescue Scorch himself. Gary arrives at the 7-Eleven and is captured by Shanker's men.
Shanker's girlfriend, BASA chief Lena Thackleman, has sent a reactor containing blubonium, a powerful source of energy, via Scorch's robotic suit. Gary is placed in a cell hall where he meets other aliens that were captured: a wisecracking mouse-like alien named Doc, a short-tempered cyclops-like alien named Io, and an intelligent slug-like alien named Thurman. They tell Gary that various human technologies have been invented by them for Shanker to rip off and sell in exchange for their undetermined release from Area 51. Gary reunites with Scorch and tries to convince him to give him his job back, but is again annoyed by his arrogance. Meanwhile, Lena captures Kira, who stayed at BASA and tried contacting Gary on his rescue mission, while revealing her plan to give Shanker a lifetime supply of blubonium.
The aliens are directed to the base's "peace shield", a massive laser weapon that can destroy asteroids. Gary unintentionally provokes Scorch into stealing and breaking the reactor, for which Shanker places Scorch in a freezing chamber and orders Gary to fix the reactor for his brother's release. Gary fixes the ray, but Shanker goes back on his deal and freezes him as well. Shanker reveals that he plans to destroy all planets with life on them, stemming from an incident in which a trio of grey aliens accidentally killed his father. The other aliens discover Shanker's true intentions when he attempts to destroy Baab with the laser. Gary rigs the machine to malfunction, destroying itself and releasing Gary, Scorch, and the other aliens from prison. The brothers escape Area 51 and head for Baab after locating Scorch's spaceship.
On Baab, Kip frees Kira, who subdues Lena after the latter takes off with a blubonium shipment and gets a call from Shanker, who broke up with her. US Air Force jets chase Scorch's ship, but Kip guides him through and manages to evade and destroy the jets. Shanker, wearing Scorch's suit, uses a tractor beam to stop the ship in midair. Gary, followed by Scorch, jumps out and manages to get the suit off Shanker, which causes them all to plummet. While free-falling, Gary and Scorch reconcile before they and Shanker are rescued by the grey aliens, who helped Shanker due to their guilt of causing his father's death but have now turned against him after discovering his true agenda. Gary punch outs Shanker, bids farewell to Doc, Io, and Thurman, and returns to Baab, where he and Scorch reunite with his family, while Lena is arrested. Scorch is greeted as a hero but gives Gary the credit, rehiring him to BASA. To celebrate his return to Baab, Scorch marries his girlfriend, anchorwoman Gabby Babblebrook, with Gary as his best man as a reward for saving him from Earth.

==Development== The film was in development at The Weinstein Company at least since 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.movieinsider.com/m3350/escape-from-planet-earth/updates|title=Escape From Planet Earth News Updates|website=Movie Insider}}</ref> The film was first announced in a press release from The Weinstein Company, which announced that the film was in full production and also announced most of the cast.<ref name=ComingSoon>{{cite news|title=Voice Cast Lined Up for Weinstein's Escape From Planet Earth Read more: Voice Cast Lined Up for Weinstein's Escape From Planet Earth|url=https://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=80574|access-date=December 5, 2011|newspaper=The Weinstein Company via ComingSoon|date=August 2, 2011|archive-date=December 26, 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121226205815/https://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=80574}}</ref>
The film was directed by Cal Brunker, who previously worked as a storyboard artist on the films ''Despicable Me'', ''Horton Hears a Who!'' and ''Ice Age: Continental Drift''. The film was originally set for release in 2012, but was pushed back to February 15, 2013.<ref name=ComingSoon />
===Lawsuit=== Writer-director Tony Leech and film producer Brian Inerfeld sued The Weinstein Company, claiming they signed a deal whereby they were to receive at least 20 percent of ''Escape'''s adjusted gross profit, which they estimated would be worth close to $50 million in back end participation alone.<ref name="hollywoodreporter1">{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/escape-planet-earth-lawsuit-weinstein-418418 |title='Escape From Planet Earth' Lawsuit: Weinstein Co. Financiers Get Out (Exclusive) |work=The Hollywood Reporter|date=2013-02-05 |access-date=2014-01-04}}</ref> But the film languished in development, and the plaintiffs claimed that the Weinsteins repeatedly unlocked the script, forcing rewrites at least 17 times, which they say "eviscerated" the movie's budget by keeping 200-plus animators on payroll.<ref name="hollywoodreporter1"/> With the film pushing its budget, the Weinsteins went outside for fresh capital.<ref name="hollywoodreporter1"/>
The Weinstein Company entered into a Funding and Security Agreement with JTM whereby the financiers agreed to provide new money and, in return, get 25 percent of the film's gross receipts and 100 percent of all foreign gross receipts.<ref name="hollywoodreporter1"/> Leech and Inerfeld were upset, alleging that the agreement had mortgaged their own financial upside and said the Weinsteins advised them that if they wanted their past due money, they would have to agree to this arrangement.<ref name="hollywoodreporter1"/> Instead, Leech and Inerfeld went on the legal attack against TWC even claiming that they were paid $500,000 in hush money to keep the dispute quiet on the verge of the Weinsteins' ''The King's Speech'' Oscar victory in 2011.<ref name="hollywoodreporter1"/> As for JTM, the plaintiffs demanded a declaratory judgment that their contractual rights to share in the profits were superior to JTM's security interest in profits from the film.<ref name="hollywoodreporter1"/>
On February 15, 2013, the same day the film was released, in a document filed in the New York Supreme Court, lawyers for both sides filed a motion of discontinuance in the case, effectively ending it. No details of the settlement were made available but because the motion was filed "with prejudice" both sides would be paying their own legal costs.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Patten |first=Dominic |url=https://deadline.com/2013/02/escape-from-planet-earth-50-million-lawsuit-weinstein-company-settled-440870/ |title=Weinstein Co & 'Escape From Planet Earth' Producers Settle $50M Lawsuit |magazine=Deadline Hollywood |date=February 26, 2013 |access-date=February 26, 2013}}</ref> ==Music== ''Escape from Planet Earth: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack'', the soundtrack of the film was released on February 19, 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/Escape-from-Planet-Earth/dp/B00BFBYK3Q/ |title=Escape from Planet Earth: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: Official Music |website=Amazon |date=February 23, 2013 |access-date=February 23, 2013}}</ref>

Stephen Farber of ''The Hollywood Reporter'' gave the film a positive review, saying, "The picture has enough entertainment value to tickle its target audience and even offers a few chuckles for accompanying adults.
